A nice stretch of dry, sunny, and increasingly warm weather awaits as we roll through this week. We’ll be a bit breezy at times as the southwesterly flow transports increasingly warm air northward, but this will be a very small price to pay to what otherwise will be a very nice stretch of weather. The next item of note will be a stronger system next weekend that will provide widespread rain and thunderstorms here Saturday.
While still chilly this morning, improvement begins in earnest this afternoon, including plentiful sunshine and temperatures pushing towards the 50° mark. (It’s a hint of what’s to come in the week ahead).

A true taste of spring will take hold this week, including well above normal temperatures from the Plains and into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes.
We’ll watch one storm system go by to our south midweek (should remain high and dry here), and then a more significant and widespread system will blow into town next weekend.
This system will be able to tap into the Gulf of Mexico so widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated around a week from today. It’s still too early to suggest there may be a severe component up this way with this storm, but we’ll monitor that potential as we go through the next few days.
Seasonably cooler air will flow into the region behind this system early next week.
Unsettled and stormy weather returns to the picture next Saturday.
